Problem Displaying submitted data on page load

[ben1234zz]

Hello

We have a page similar to a shopping cart... when we post the data we want to load it in the returned page.

However it appears that the page load procedure runs before the control command procedure on the page.

Therefore the databind occurs before the page modifies it!!

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

this is the page life cycle. there is no way around that. usually with webforms the pattern is

page_load(...)
{
   if(IsPostBack) return;
   MyGridView.DataSource = GetData();
   MyGridView.DataBind();
}

button_click(...)
{
   if(!IsValid) return;
   SaveData();
   MyGridView.DataSource = GetData();
   MyGridView.DataBind();
}

Hi

Thanks for your post.

I found a rough way round it by doing a server.transfer to the same page after the event fires. Not ideal but a solution to the problem.

Thanks again
